Canadas Coffee drinking population loves their coffee, but do they really know how much caffeine is really in it, do they really care? at Tim Hortens, Canadas most popular coffee retailer they say that there amount of caffeine are as follows a Small has 80mg's of caffeine, a medium has 100 mg, a large has 140 mg, and an extra large has 200 mg! Health Canada recommends a maximum of 400 mg of caffeine per day, but most Canadians drink at least 4 cups of coffee per day, that number is growing due to the body"s natrual resistence to the effects of caffeine, so the more they drink, the more resistent, then the more they have to drink! If Canadians don't become more educated on what they are putting into their bodies and how much, then someday it may be too late.

Peptides potential for malaria vaccine Researchers from the UK have developed a new test that will help in the search for anti-malaria vaccines Malaria is caused by the virus Plasomodiuem and is carried by the female anopholies mosquito, It also causes over one million deaths per year It has a very complex life cycle within the host but its main step is invading red blood cells.The Malaria virus attachs itself to the red blood cell and enters through the cell membrane, taking a peice of it with it to replicate itself, the virus uses a multi-protein motor complex too invade. Distrupting this complex could stall the invasion and alter the cycle. Doctor Tate and colleagues developed an assay to identify peptides that mimic part of myosin, one of the complex proteins, using fluorescent peptides. If the peptide mimic forms the complex with the parasite, the peptides undergo a shift in light emission, easily monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Scientists have developed a low cost method of pinpointing Variations in a persons genetic code at critical points along the DNA chain. All the technique requires is the DNA in a persons Saliva. Tiny differences in a persons DNA code can detect if a person is healthy or exposed to a disease The technology seeks to enable improved personal diagnosis, allowing prompt, appropriate treatment for patients The method, based on chemical analysis, delivers reliable results without the need for expensive enzymes used in conventional DNA testing. ======
